[Boxologist]

Installed the SPA mirrors and windscreen mounts that Chris sells thru teh site.

u will need

 

slotted screw driver - to remove top 2 bolts in the stanchions

3/16 hex key or driver - to lock the angle of the mirror stalk.

3mm hex key or driver - to mount the provide bolts thru the mirror/mount/stanchion to the windscreen. also tightens the top bolt on teh mirror controling the rotation of the mirror.

 

contents(per side):

Spa mirror

black bolt, washer, nyloc nut

silver bolts, 2

aluminium mount; there are 2 tapered holes on opposite sides allowing this to sit flush:thumbs:

 

u may need to enlarge one the hole nominally. I did.

 

installation is simple, if a slight nusance going back and forth getting the mirror corsely adjusted.

 

1. take off top stanchion bolt.

2. install mount via new longer bolt into open hole.

3. place bolt that will recieve washer and nyloc nut in center hole facing out, place mirror over bolt hole, slightly tighten with the 3/16 key. attach with new longer bolt.

4. adjust mirror. take off lower bolt and tighten mirror. tighten back on.

5. fine adjust the mirror by loosening the bolt on top of the mirror. tighten all bolts, and nyloc nut when satisfied with position.

 

pics to follow.

A modification that I found helpful was to drill a clearance hole directly under the hex head screw used to tighten the mirror stalk in place. This can loosen up with repeated adjustments and by placing a hole in the aluminum mounting plate it is much easier than disassembling the hole apparatus.

Drew, drill a hole thru the stanchion?

[drew...]

Drill a clearance hole thru the aluminum mounting plate directly behind the allenhead cap screw used to lock the mirror in place, (centered between the holes that are used to retain the mounting plate to the mirror stalk swivel). This hole will provide access for an allen wrench allowing you to remove the mirror from the windsheild frame and tighten the cap screw without removing the bolt holding the mirror to the mounting plate. Once the mirror is mounted to the windsheild you will not see the hole you have drilled as it is under the swivel.
